1 You are running a car rental company. The company charges 500 per day and ₹8 per kilo-metre. A
customer returns a car with the odometer readings (shows the distance travelled since the time of renting the car)
of 300 kilo-metre and the bill amounts to ₹5900. How many days was this car rented?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance value = 8 × 300km = ₹2400

5900- 2400 = 3500

as ₹500 per day

3500/500 = 7

It was rented for 7 days

Answer 2

Answer:

The number of days the person rented the car = 7 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The company charges 500 per day and ₹8 per kilo-metre.

Distance traveled by a person  = 300km and bill amount = 5900

Required to find,

The number of days the person rented the car

Let 'x' be the number of days the person rented the car.

Then, total rent charges for 'x' days = 500x

Since he travelled 300km, the total travelling charges = 300 × 8 = ₹2400

Hence the total charges = 500x + 2400

Given, that the bill amount is 5900

500x + 2400 = 5900

500x = 5900 - 2400

500x = 3500

x = $\frac{3500}{500}$ = 7

∴ The number of days the person rented the car = 7 days
